Reproduction classic workwear

[flat-top]

Well, the moment almost no one was waiting for! I found some great vintage vegetable ivory buttons for these pants...

Thank you sir!
I can't wait to wear these.

Picked up this beauty today! Made by What Comes Around Goes Around, which is a vintage store in NY that now makes repros. The list price was $190, but Century 21 had it for $69.99, then marked it down to $49.99 and I got a 20% off coupon online so this was just $40. I'm pretty happy about this!

Anyone seen these work wear jeans from Pike Brothers based in Germany? Look great to me...

They are nice. I have had a pair of 'Takus' by Denime in the same pattern for many years. Made in Japan, of course and in brown duck denim.

UK loungers may know that The Vintage Shirt Company does a version of the ubiquitous British 1940s-style blue cotton drill work short work jacket for a reasonable price (compared to say, Tin House, that is).

I sport this look on any given day . . . I've got a simple black vest on under my coat as well as weary jeans and black oxfords. On a day like today, fingerless knit gloves and a scarf are required.

Salt & Pepper Work Pants

Boy do originals really go for a lot of money! Anyone interested in these? Have a pair? Interested in reproductions..?

I'd love a repro pair?? Know of any good ones??
I actually have a great salt & pepper chin strap jacket by RRL from the early 90's that's pretty killer.

I would be interested in some of these as well-any source for repro's?

I see that Mike's picture is from www.e-workers.net.
And of course it's in Japanese!

You bet! Available for order as of yesterday! I have never ordered from him before, but he accepts paypal/US orders. I'm a big fan of his schtuff! Killer-Goriller indeed!

Am I reading right? $160?
How do you order? I wouldn't even know where to click!

Although he hasn't written back to me in the last few weeks, he has always been available and easy to speak with about sizing and stuff in the past through his email address: [email protected]

I'm still kicking myself for letting one of those club collared, polkadot work shirts slip through my fingers a few months ago! Arrgh.

The salt and peppers are very, very nice trousers, as are the khaki drill numbers. And, at GBP111, I'm sorely tempted.

I just have reproduction stuff, some of my friends here in NYC have a bunch of great original stuff but aren't on here. I think you could include back belted/action backed leather jackets in the vintage work wear category, would you agree?
I have a problem chasing, acquiring and then wearing original work wear as from my experience, a lot of it is almost ready to fall apart and you feel like you're wearing a museum piece. Rarely have I felt that way about suits though [huh]

japanese repro, but still really cool in how weird it is in my opinion to be redoing vintage company's brands....

I don't blame you!

I believe they were made by the company behind Buzz Rickson, etc. I just picked em up off of ebay, I have never seen them before though so I'm not sure what season they're from [huh]
